Gauracandra Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Designer Praises Afghan Leader's Fashion Sense AP Tuesday, January 15, 2002 MILAN, Italy — Designer Tom Ford has added something new to the list of things to like about Afghanistan's new leader: His fashion sense. "The chicest man on the planet today is the new president of Afghanistan, whose look is very elegant and very proud," Ford said after showing his fall-winter 2002-03 collection for Gucci during Milan's menswear shows. Hamid Karzai appears almost daily on TV wearing flowing, elegant capes and a gray lambswool hat. When he was installed as Afghanistan's interim leader in December, he wore a splendid green-and-purple ceremonial cloak. On a visit to Rome before the ceremony to visit Afghanistan's exiled king, the urbane Karzai, 44, spent a morning shopping on the fashionable Via della Croce. The ANSA news agency quoted Ford as saying Karzai embodied the look of his new collection, the theme of which is a "return to the formality" of the 1930s.
